By combining the like terms; the simplified answer in the correct way is 16x^2+6xy+6y^2
How to get answer:
- Find how many terms are in the algebraic equation. Counting I got 6 terms.
There are 2 xy's and 2 x's and 2y's
- Next combine all like terms
[tex]8x^{2} + 8x^{2} = 16x^{2}[/tex]
7xy+-xy=6xy
[tex]5y^{2} + y^{2}[/tex]=[tex]6y^{2}[/tex]
- Next Simplify
[tex]16x^{2}+6xy+6y^{2}[/tex]
